Ravens stand on a rock pile as other birds fly in the background at the Apex Landfill north of Las Vegas Friday.

Egyptian women gather to denounce sexual violence and harassment against women in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday. Mob-led sexual assaults targeting Egypt's female protesters could increase if perpetrators are not punished, an international rights group warned on Wednesday. Amnesty International said statements from victims show that the assaults follow a "clear pattern," where mobs of men encircle the victims, assault them with weapons and hands and then try to undress them. Amnesty's warning followed a statement from the U.N. human rights office, which last week said that about 25 women were reportedly sexually assaulted - in some cases with extraordinary violence - in Cairo's Tahrir Square during recent demonstrations against Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The hugely popular Japanese girl band AKB48 members, from left in first row pose for photographers at the opening premiere of their new film "Documentary of AKB48 No Flower Without Rain" in Tokyo on Feb.1 one day after a group member shaved her head and issued a tearful videotaped apology for violating the megagroup's no-dating rule. The spectacle has sparked debate in Japan over whether the band AKB48 exerts too much control over its performers. Minami Minegishi made the video, posted on AKB48's website, after the 20-year-old was caught by a gossip magazine coming out of her boyfriend's apartment. AKB48 says it forbids its members from dating to project a clean image and signal their devotion to the group and their mostly male fans. less

Debris of a collapsed house once used by gladiators to train before combat is protected from rain in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy. Work has begun to shore up Pompeii's fragile ruins, following several sensational collapses in the sprawling ancient Roman city. The tourist attraction near Naples is chronically short of state funds. Helping pay for the latest restoration is more than $55 million in European Union funds, which an EU commissioner, Johannes Hahn, in Pompeii Wednesday described as an important step toward rescuing the archaeological complex from modern-day ruin. In 2010, torrential rain caused the collapse of a wall in Pompeii, and a frescoed building where gladiators prepared for battle crumbled into a pile of dust. less

Abdoulaye Cisse, who lives in the Timbuktu area, holds open a book on Feb. 1 at the Hamed Baba book repository, one of the world's most precious collections of ancient manuscripts, in Timbuktu, Mali.

Students work on skulls from the recently discovered Xaloctan site at the National Institute of Anthropological Studies at Mexico's National Autonomous University in Mexico City, Friday. Archaeologists say they have turned up about 150 skulls of human sacrifice victims at a field in Xaloctan, central Mexico near the Teotihuacan pyramids. Experts are puzzled by the unexpected find of such a large number of skulls at what appears to have been a small, unremarkable shrine. The heads were carefully deposited in rows or in small mounds, mostly facing east toward the rising sun, sometime between 660 and 860 A.D. less
